A typical sight to see when traveling through the Andes Mountains.  A Peruvian lady making what appears to be a rug.  There are so many precious Peruvians open to the Gospel of Christ.

"How then shall they call on him whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?  and how shall they hear without a preacher?"  Romans 10:14

We want to thank each of you that are partnering with us and Christ to take the message of salvation and holiness to a hungry people!

COMARGO CAMP

God's presence was sensed in a very special way at Comargo Camp this year.  God helped us immensely in the teaching of the children about the wonderful God of Space.  We had some concerns that our services had to be held in a tent and there were a few days of rain.  As we stood in water over our shoes while getting the tent decorations set up, we realized that it reminded us of working in the jungles of Peru! :)  Our decorations rolled and sagged with the moisture in the air, but the children never seemed to notice.  They were an excellent bunch to work with. 

A special thank you to the Brookside Allegheny Church and my dad for loaning their microphone, amp, and stand so that I could be heard over the sound of the fans blowing in the tent. 
I also had awesome helpers in Bro. & Sr. Dave Jowers, Michelle Probst, my mother, and last but not in any way least my husband Bryon.  All contributed greatly to make the children's camp a success!  Praise HIS Name!

God came in the camp services with one service lasting until 12:15 am as the young people sought and praised God with such freedom!  We so appreciate our young people that have such a passion to live a life pleasing unto HIM!  May we older ones continue to be a Godly example before their lives.

Camp wasn't without a medical issue.  Bryon appeared to have a gallbladder attack and wound up in the emergency room twice.  With meds, a strict diet, and prayer he seems to be doing much better for which we praise the Lord!  He still needs to have a gallbladder function test that is scheduled for next week.  We are so thankful that God has our very times in HIS hands.....we can rest in HIM that whatever comes our way HE is in charge!

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY

God divinely led us to become the children's workers at the Brethren In Christ campmeeting.  We worked all week teaching the children about the wonderful GOD OF SPACE, who can do the impossible!!  Not only did they learn about AN ALL-POWERFUL GOD, they also learned many space facts.  We enjoyed working with these precious souls.  It also did these two missionaries good to remember that we are serving the God of the IMPOSSIBLE who is sufficiently able to supply for HIS ministry in Peru!!!

Through this outreach doors opened for our Peruvian ministry.  We are hoping to be able to hold services in churches that we made contact with while at the camp.  The brethren at this camp welcomed us with open arms and prayed over us during their commissioning of their own missionaries.  Bryon also sat on a mission panel explaining the differences culturally and the spiritual needs in Peru.

We are now setting up to begin children's ministry at Comargo Camp.  We are excited to teach these wonderful young people about our GREAT BIG WONDERFUL GOD!!  Samuel is especially excited, for he will be able to visit with his church friends that he has been missing during all our travels.

We have continued to travel throughout four states, telling others about God's call upon our lives and what we believe HE wants to do in Peru.  We are so thankful for each of you that are choosing to partner with us and God as we endeavor to reach the lost in Peru with the GOOD NEWS! 

It was hard to see Bryon up there working on the steeple.....the beautiful Brookside AWM Church.

HELPING HANDS!

This past weekend found us driving near Louisville, KY.  Bryon was up on the Brookside Allegheny Wesleyan Methodist Church roof trying to fix a leak from a problem with their steeple.  After several hours in the blazing sun, he thinks he has it fixed.  Pray that the leak will stop so that they do not have to remove their steeple for more intense work.  We enjoy getting to be small Helping Hands in God's Kingdom!

While he was busy with that, my cousin was working tirelessly on our wheel bearing that needed changed badly!  Many miles that ole bearing has squealed and made the most horrible noises.  We continued to pray for God's protection over the miles and HE granted it.  So thankful that we had the Helping Hands of Jesus covering our high mileage vehicle. 

Speaking of this vehicle, back in 2011, when we knew we were to return to the States soon, we began to look online for a used vehicle.  We didn't know what to be looking for, so we prayed about it and asked God to choose our vehicle!  HE DID!  Do you think God has a sense of humor?  I DO!!!  :)  When my brother Paul called to say he had found a vehicle, that had hit a deer, for a very good price, we excitedly looked up the car we felt God had worked out for us and there it stated......."Voted Ugliest Car in America!!"   HA!  However when we allow God to do the choosing, He ALWAYS chooses best!  When we received our vehicle it had 208,000 miles on it and original motor, tranny etc.  Three years ago I asked God to please keep it running until we it's time to return to Peru.  In three years the mileage now reads 263,000......ummmm, we have done a bit of driving eh? ;)  We are to receive a loaner mission van at the end of November.  Please pray with us that God's Helping Hands will continue to enable our ole Pontiac Aztek to keep on trucking!

We are getting ready to head to Pennsylvania for three mission services, then back to Cincinnati to prepare for our first children's work at the Brethren of Christ camp meeting.  We covet your prayers as we attempt to be Helping Hands in the Master's work!

MISSIONARY FELLOWSHIP

It is so wonderful to have fellow missionaries to fellowship with.  Ones that can understand the twists and turns of deputation travels. :)  We so appreciate Gareth and Susan Carter and their kindness to us.  The other night we were privileged to sit around their bonfire sharing dreams and burdens for the ministries God has laid upon our lives.  Wonderful friends, wonderful times!   We are also really looking forward to the Dickinsons returning soon to have their new bundle of joy.  What a wonderful time it will be to hear how God has blessed their work in Argentina!

TRAVELS

The past few weeks have found us traveling back and forth to Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, and different places in Ohio.  We have so appreciated the Lord's help and traveling mercies across the many miles.  It has been so wonderful to meet again with old friends and make lots of new ones!

Tomorrow night we will be the missionary speakers for the Candy Run Campmeeting in Lucasville, OH.  We covet your prayers!  God also has worked out His will for Bryon and me to serve as the Children's Workers at the Memorial Holiness Camp in West Milton, OH, and also at Comargo Camp in Goshen, OH.  We are working toward developing the theme that we felt God wanted us to use....THE GOD OF SPACE.  We realize that this is going to be a very busy summer, but we are looking forward to serving Jesus in these capacities. 

Between travels and speaking Bryon is staying busy learning how to install kitchen cabinets and granite.  He always enjoys learning new skills that can many times be applied on the mission field.  We appreciate Nathan Earls Sr. and his business, Countertops By Nathan, for providing this opportunity.

Samuel is enjoying summer break and has finally broken out of his stage fright.  He is singing "I Will Make You Fishers of Men" in Spanish "Pescadores Yo Os Hare" in front of the congregations.  He is also joining in with our family's attempt at singing "Alabare!"  (Praise HIM!)

The other day Samuel and I called a fellow missionary to sing to them a chorus that has been an encouragement to my soul!  "God said we're going to make it.....God said we're going to make it....God said we're going to make it.....We're going to make it through the raging storm....Don't worry over thunder, we're not going under....God said we're going to make it....we're going to make it cause the Master's on board!"  Friends, the important part is to know that HE IS ON BOARD......wherever HE sends you, whatever HE calls you to do for HIM, as long as HE IS ON BOARD you can go forward!  The Fling Family is going forward in HIM!
